Adolescence is defined as a transitional period between childhood and adulthood
characterized by changes in social interaction and acquisition of mature cognitive abilities …

A core component to corticolimbic circuitry is the GABAergic interneuron. Neuroanatomic
studies conducted over the past century have demonstrated several subtypes of interneuron …

Background and rationale Reinstatement of the function of working memory, the cardinal
cognitive process essential for human reasoning and judgment, is potentially the most …

Among the neuromodulators that regulate prefrontal cortical circuit function, the
catecholamine transmitters norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine (DA) stand out as powerful …

This review paper examines neurologic bases of links between balance control and anxiety
based upon neural circuits that are shared by pathways that mediate autonomic control …

Chronic stress has been shown in animal models to result in altered dendritic morphology of
pyramidal neurons of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). It has been hypothesized that the …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) has long been known to be involved in the mediation of complex
behavioral responses. Considerable research efforts are directed towards refining the …

Traditionally, animal models of schizophrenia were predominantly pharmacological
constructs focused on phenomena linked to dopamine and glutamate neurotransmitter …

All neuronal circuits are subject to neuromodulation. Modulatory effects on neuronal
processing and resulting behavioral changes are most commonly reported for higher order …

Dopamine (DA) input to the prefrontal cortex (PFC), acting on D1 receptors, plays an
essential role in mediating working memory functions. In comparison, less is known about …
